The Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its weekly report today on the status of petroleum inventories in the United States. Here are some highlights:

CRUDE INVENTORIES:
Crude oil inventories decreased by 6.5 million barrels (MMbbl) to a total of 475.4 MMbbl. At 475.4 MMbbl, inventories are 17.5 MMbbl below last year (3.6%) and are in the upper half of the average range for this time of year. Inventories at the major delivery point in Cushing, OK rose 0.6 MMbbl to a total of 56.4 million barrels.

GASOLINE INVENTORIES:
Gasoline inventories increased by 3.4 million barrels to a total of 231.1 MMbbl. At 231.1 MMbbl, inventories are down 4.3 MMbbl, or 1.8% lower than a year ago and are in the upper half of the average range for this time of year.

It’s important to note which regions saw increases/decreases as this information likely drives prices up (in the case of falling inventories) or down (in the case of rising inventories).

DISTILLATE (DIESEL, HEATING OIL) INVENTORIES:
Distillate inventories decreased by 1.7 million barrels to a total of 147.7 MMbbl. At 147.7 MMbbl, inventories are down 3.5 MMbbl, or 2.3% lower vs. a year ago.

IMPLIED DEMAND:
Gasoline supplied to end users amounted to 9.8 million barrels per day (MMbpd), or 45,000bpd lower than the previous week. So far in 2017, gasoline supplied is 2.3% lower versus 2016, per the EIA.

REFINERY OUTPUT/UTILIZATION:
Refinery utilization increased by 0.9% vs. last week’s numbers to 96.3%. Gasoline production increased to 10.3 million barrels per day while distillate fuel production increased to 5.3 million barrels per day last week.

These percentages show how much of a region’s overall capacity were used to refine oil. It’s important to note these percentages, because the lower the utilization percent, the lower output—which has a direct impact on local gasoline prices. If refiners in your region have low output, you’re more likely to see prices rise.

OVERALL SUPPLY:
Total oil stocks in the United States are down by 49.8 MMbbl (-3.7%) over last year and stand at 1.31 billion barrels (excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve).

IMPORTS/EXPORTS:
The U.S. imported 7.76 MMbpd of crude oil per day last week, down by 491,000 bpd vs. the previous week. Total motor gasoline imports last week averaged 1,108,000 bpd. The U.S. also imported 41,000 bpd of distillate fuels. However, during the same timeframe, the U.S. exported 454,000 bpd of finished gasoline and 1.1 mbpd of distillates. In total, U.S. refineries exported 4.9 MMbpd of oil and petroleum products.

Shortly before the EIA report was released, oil was trading up 23 cents per barrel at $49.40. Shortly after the report was released, oil prices were up 29 cents per barrel.
